A DRIBBLE.

A dlibble is used to define false try for q
goal After scoring touch down, the side
which accomplished it has the right to try to
kick a goal from point opposite the spot
where a touch down was made, and at right
angles to the g5al line. To do this to the best,
advantage, the ball is generally kicked from
the hand Of player who lies fiat upon his
stomach, with the ball held few inches
above the ground. The dribble has recently
been abolished.
A tackle occurs when player, running
with the ball. is caught by an opponent II
he is stopped the opponent calls out, "Held,"
and the man having the ball says Down
The ball is then given to the captain for a
| snap back For the snap back the men face
each other on an imaginary line from the
ball, and, running at right angles to and in
tersecting the boundary line, the captain
holds the ball to the ground with his foot
and hand while he sets it in motion. A fair
| is when the ball is caught in the air after
being thrown, kicked or batted by the oppo-
site side, but the player making the fair
catch must at once mark with his heel on
the ground the exact spot where he stood at
| the time
The different points in football are: Goal
obtained by a touch down, which scores six
| goal by kick from the field, which gives
five; touch down by which 10 goal is made,
which counts four. and safety by opponents,
for which two points are allowed.
| A touch down is scored when the ball is
carried into the in goal. over the goal line,
and touched down II the touch down be
made in the players own goal he FGt:st send

OF the defense it may be brought and punted
from any point between the touch down and
goal line, the players meanwhile being obliged

ing his goal receives the ball from his own
side by either a snap back or pass kick and
then touches it down or carries it into touch

SHY ycnrs Of busy journalists life at
Washington are cpitomized in Maj. Ben.
Paley Poore's two superb volumes One
of slle admirers of the Major recently said
that lat iudiciouS ripe period Of life the
Major stopped growing old, and since then,
like some of tho choice old Madeira of which
he writes with so much feeling. he has only
been accommodating oOquet and havor." Mai
Poore has been one of the best known and
one Of the most knowing men in Washing
ton society for half century. lie has the
sunny temperament dclighting in bright So
cial intercourse. Yet his connection with
daily journalism aud his position in the
U. S. Senate placed him always in the thick
of political affairs and social gossip. He was
ever in the Washington 'Swim, aud ncver
failed to hear or sec what was said and
done.
The Major could never be very solemn
and in his ripened sketches of Washington
! life every phase reminds him Of half dozen
amusing anecdotes. He has rare gift in
telling a story, and his anecdotes are ines
| haustibie.
His book will not only add nstrc to his
fame as writer, but is Of SO unique char
acter and 50 intensely interesting in matter
that it will prove valuable contribution to
the literature Of the country. II has mirth
for the mirthful, wit for the witty, inform a

equa'lgd by any subscription book since the

The High License Bill.

We hear that the High License bill is in
disfavor among the larger retailers of liquor
In the city. They say the tendency of this
enactment will be to drive them out of the
city, aud place the liquor business alto
gether In the hands Of owners Of low grog-
gerles.
We understand that these larger retailers
place themselves under the self-styled cate
CORY of respectable" traffiukers iu liquor
and the smaller retailers as if the disreputa-
BILE, irresponsible class.
Well, all we have to say is that there is a
we'll substantiated feeling in this cOmmun
ity held by large majority of our most
respectable citizens, and it is that there is
NO distinction in rum-holes The more
gilded the pill--it is not necessarily the less
inefflcacious.
The community is Just as solicitous
about its youth who arc dressed in broad
cloth as it is about those who are in fustiaR
and the respectable rum-hole is just as dis
reputable as the lowest rum-hole. In the eyes
OF respectable fathers and mothers who are
solioitous about their sons these gilded
respectable" saloons are doubly con,
demned because hiding under the assumed
title Of respectable" saloons.
If this high license bill be successful, al
the larger retailers fear in 'driVlng then
out Of town" all the mere grateful, all hon
orable men will be for such cousummatiou
for these very places are what offer th
greater problem to decent citizenship in it

Eleven men are allowed on each side in a
football match of these seven are rushers,
two are half back one quarter back and one

known respectively as the drop kick" the
